I had plenty of peers whose dads were well placed in an airline and as a result were able to get hired at a legacy while very young. Who you know and who you are play a major role in success in certain paths in life. If your dad owns a chain of furniture stores then be a furniture salesmen. If your mother is a legacy airline captain then be an airline pilot. It makes life much easier to have well placed allies and to stay within the conduit of opportunity.

In summary - Go where there is opportunity for you. If you are just another nameless suburban kid with a pile of school debt to finance a long shot aviation career perhaps you should reevaluate?
